Thanks for the info. In a past life I ran everything WS and washed in a batch wash using saponifier. I'm surprised I never saw anything then as we would regularly wash boards assembled on only one side. Unless it's specifically washing in DI only.

I know Mydata has machines that have a 44" X 32" placement area, reflowing something that big is another story. Most reflow ovens I know of have a maximum conveyor width of 20", although Heller ovens can go 23.5" wide. If you're into Vapor Phase sold

Well super, super, sorry I had cap locks on - no yelling intended. Let's keep this a technical forum. Many manufacturers charge to register their equipment prior to selling parts or providing service. Agree or dis-agree with this practice it is a re

We bought an ekra x5 at auction and the hard drive was pulled (due to the classified nature of the boards the company was producing)... i was told if i could find some one willing to make a clone of their hard drive (we are willing to supply the hard

Are you running a no clean process, or are you washing your PCBs? One caveat with ENIG is sometimes washing with hot DI water can effect solderability later on. I would also talk to your solder technicians and see what their preference is. Some pr

In both cases, it will depend on storage conditions, unless you do something horrible to them (or as previously mentioned, wash them) months & months. For boards we put through SMT and then stash for THT loading in smaller qty's I don't think we've e

Hi, I totally agree. If I purchased a machine, and a company wanted me to pay some kind of fee just to be able to purchase parts, I would go nuts. What a terrible policy. I think, and this is becoming more common, that companies are becoming so sel

Haha, I have to totally agree with the prior posting! I think it is somewhat strange sometimes when a salesman think it is ok to "black list" their competitors! We had a sales guy from a "company I prefer not to mention by name, but obviously You

I want to avoid peoples preferences as they will differ and will not be a deciding factor. A heat gun will introduce risk to surrounding PTH components and having to add protection for those, will limit any gain in productivity. There is no question
